''If Algonquin is the privileged child of the Liberty City family, then Alderney is most definitely the retarded younger brother -- an endless sea of run-down homes peppered with phallus-like smokestacks thrusting into the sickly clouds above.

Though it is considered an independent state from Liberty City, the [[Liberty City Police Department|LCPD]] patrols the area. It is implied to be part of a state called Guernsey (the name given to Jersey City in the original [[Grand Theft Auto 1]] version of [[Liberty City]]), judging by dialogue with members of the [[Pegorino Family]]. Oddly, ingame TV programs refer to Alderney as "The Independent State of Alderney", suggesting it is a state and not a city. | Though it is considered an independent state from ''Liberty City'', the [[Liberty City Police Department|LCPD]] patrols the area.
